I have a former feral cat (Tower) that is neutered that goes in and out. We try to keep him in, but it is almost impossible. He is completely socialized and gets along with all of our indoor cats. His usual territory is out front and he would travel around a couple houses down each side but lately he has been going into the backyard and terrorizing all of our feral cats! At first he just seemed to go after one of the neutered males out there, and he remains his focus, but now he is going after all of them and causing a great ruckus! Although no one gets injured the noise is horrible...
As anyone who has read some of my posts knows, the neighbors are not too terribly fond of our ferals as it is, so I need this fighting to stop! I don't know what to do. I know this is a territory thing, and that this is where Tower used to hang out before he started coming indoors, so it's his territory too. How long will it take before the fighting stops? All of the ferals seem to back down so I don't see what fun he can be having...With all of this, one of the male ferals has left the colony. Of course he was our last adult male to be neutered. We were waiting for it to get a bit warmer before we began to trap again. Please send come home vibes so we can catch this feral. Knowing all the problems an un-neutered male can cause, I don't want him running the streets...I just feel awful...
If anyone has been through this....Please send some advice my way.
Thanks!
